The textbox must be multiline, and with the "paragraph breaks" checkbox checked, the option "Limit text box to x charachters" is unavailable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it possible to use a pattern to work around this problem? Any other solution?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks</description></item></channel></rss>
